Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
This charity is a recent Award Winner
This charity has a robust balance sheet
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 14 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £7,419,168 available, equivalent to 31 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
